My Haynes manual has them listed in foot pounds, not inch pounds and
says the small 1/4" ones are 5 to 7 Foot lb. and the larger 5/16" ones
are 10 to 13 foot lb.

That is on page 2C-5.

There are two specs, one for 1/4" screws and another for 5/16" screws.

The Set To spec is 7 ft lb for the 1/4, and 11 for the 5/16. The Service In
Use spec is 5 to 9 and 9 to 13, respectively. All measurments are in foot
pounds.


The spec for Oil Pressure is 13psi at 600 RPM and 37 to 75 psi from 1600 RPM
and up. The max pressure is determined by a bypass valve, this pressure is
capped at 75psi.

I am not sure that a high flow oil pump is beneficial unless you make other
unknown changes to accomodate the increased flow/pressure. My inclination
would be to get another stock pump.


I pulled this data from my Factory Service Manual, but I must give a caveat
that the Oil Capacity is listed at 4 quarts, plus the filter. My 258 holds 6
quarts, including the filter, so I can not vouch for the accuracy of the
information I have given. Having said that, If I was rebuilding my motor, I
would use all of the information, and accept the idea that the oil capacity
is shown incorrectly.

My '81 FSM has the same specs. But, how does one measure a foot pound spec
with an inch pound torque wrench? If one was supposed to use an inch pound
wrench, wouldn't the spec be 84 and 132 in lb, respectively? And, does an
inch pound wrench go this high?

I might do this wrong, but I would use a foot pound wrench when the spec
calls for foot pounds. The trouble I would run into is that my foot pound
wrench goes so high that is might not be very accurate at these small
numbers.

Okay, I got some pretty decent info today. I talked to one of senior
mechanics that I know from our Public Works Fleet Maintenance dept. He said
to do a visual pressure test. I agree it will take a keen eye, but he said
once the bolts are just finger tight, turn each bolt just until one sees a
very slight visual gasket pinch. He said it works great. You just have to
barely see the gasket squish and you stop.
